ZANDAR MONITORS FLORIDA WATER TREATMENT UTILITY
December 21st 2005
Dublin, Ireland - December 21st 2005 –
Zandar
Technologies, a leading innovator in the design and development of
high quality multi-source display and management solutions, has
upgraded its video surveillance and monitoring system for a
Central Florida
water utility. Although the majority of the surveillance system was
installed in 2003 by local experts SiteSecure, Inc.,
Zandar
and SiteSecure teamed up again to update the system, providing full
network access for the operators and a custom User Interface based
on
Zandar
's new Z-Configurator control software.
The Central Florida
utility had some demanding requirements from the offset. Seeking
cost-effective alternatives to increase security, improve response
and reduce down time, the utility wanted a CCTV system that enabled
the plant to record, but also monitor live, in real-time, 125 to 150
cameras simultaneously. SiteSecure, Inc. developed the solution
using
Zandar
FusionPro MultiViewers and six high definition
DLP
rear projection systems projected onto a single 75" x 281"
custom screen.
Installed throughout the county, the camera images are routed
over a circular self-correcting 1GB fibre network to decoders
located at the command and control facility. Signals are then
distributed to a matrix switcher that distributes video and control
data to Digital Video Recorders and the
Zandar
MultiViewers. The complete system can be controlled over a Local
Area Network and the operators have the ability to assign various,
distinctive border colors and other camera identification colors to
segment the overall display and highlight specific cameras and
views.
"We are able to monitor up to 150 cameras images by
incorporating six
Zandar
FusionPro MultiViewers, each displaying 25 cameras in a 5 by 5
format," stated
Deirdre Smith
, CEO at
Zandar
Technologies. "One of the most exciting, and practical, features,
is the flexibility and scalability of the solution that will allow
the utility to expand the system as its requirements evolve and
grow."
This upgrade marks
Zandar
Technologies' continued commitment to developing MultiViewer
technology as the customers' display requirements change. The
project follows on the success of recent monitoring, display and
surveillance projects across the globe using
Zandar
MultiViewers for a truly versatile solution. Some of these projects
include work for Sony Professional Services, who
required the integration of 17
Zandar
Predator HD MultiViewers into a HDTV truck they designed and built
for Switzerland's largest TV production company and XM Satellite
Radio, who use
Zandar
FusionPro 1RU MultiViewers in their New York studios and Washington
DC headquarters to provide digital signage and display multiple
images, such as live video, audio and computer signals. A
Zandar
FusionPro MultiViewer is also an integral part of a digital signage
system at a
Baptist
Church
youth center in
New Mexico
, U.S to creatively communicate its message to its congregants.
Zandar
offers a range of MultiViewer solutions including the FusionPro+ and
Predator Series. FusionPro+ is ideal for critical applications where

high quality for live monitoring, with simple operator control or
trigger inputs for
display reconfiguration in alarm conditions.
